BACKGROUND/AIMS: Palliative chemotherapy is the main treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). However, there is a lack of established second-line chemotherapy to treat disease progression after first-line chemotherapy. We examined combination therapy with capecitabine and cisplatin for advanced BTC as a second-line regimen.
We analyzed the medical records of 40 patients diagnosed with BTC who received palliative second-line chemotherapy with capecitabine and cisplatin.
The median overall survival from the start of second-line chemotherapy was 6.3 months. The median overall survival from diagnosis was 17.9 months. The median progression-free survival during second-line chemotherapy was 2.3 months. Nine (30%) patients experienced adverse events of grade ≥3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score was an independent predictor of adverse events.
Combination therapy with capecitabine and cisplatin may be an option for second-line chemotherapy in some of patients with advanced BTC.
背景/目的:姑息化疗是晚期胆管癌(BTC)的主要治疗方法。然而,目前缺乏成熟的二线化疗方案来治疗一线化疗后疾病进展的情况。我们研究了卡培他滨和顺铂联合治疗晚期BTC作为二线方案的疗效。
我们分析了40例被诊断为BTC并接受卡培他滨和顺铂姑息性二线化疗患者的病历。
从二线化疗开始计算的中位总生存期为6.3个月。从诊断开始计算的中位总生存期为17.9个月。二线化疗期间的中位无进展生存期为2.3个月。9例(30%)患者出现≥3级不良事件。东部肿瘤协作组体能状态评分是不良事件的独立预测因素。
卡培他滨和顺铂联合治疗可能是部分晚期BTC患者二线化疗的一种选择。
